Vista/Windows 7 issues with copying files to a server

Thanks Wishblade, but I have UAC switched off. Was actually the first thing I did when I installed Vista X64 on the machine some time ago.

What else?

Sounds like the Server 2003 might be an issue. Well, our IT manager is already making plans to roll out Windows 7 on all new machines purchased from the day it is available as an option on new PC's. So I guess he has some other issues pertaining to server OS's to resolve before jumping in, I'll talk to him tomorrow.:rolleyes:

Did you look at the path length - I'm pretty sure that's it....
 
Path names (anything from length to names to spaces in file names) can result in the error message in the OP.

Actually, when I think about it, some guy at the office here had an issue once where he wanted a script to remove spaces from folder names(ie:rename all folders/files to NOT include spaces) as the spaces led to some or other error when running commands on certain files, which was resolved when the spaces where removed. I actually think it had more to do with the filename length, but oh well...

Investigate the filename(full path) length issue - my next suspicion would reside in that direction. There is a setting on Vista which can be changed to change length of recognized filenames (or something along those lines); guess its off to google quick ;)

This was (is??) a problem with some command line entries. The workaround is to include the pathname within double quotes "". The problem is caused by a space character being treated as a delimiter.
